Using Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen, I tightlined the upper lashline and extend beyond the lashline. The liner is slightly thicker for my right eye, to balance my uneven eyes. For the lower lashline, I only lined 1/3 of the outer corner and extend beyond the lashline. Make sure that the extended lines meet at the ends.
I applied the darker taupe shade (KATE Deep Eyes GY-1) on the outer-V, then the light pale peach shade on the inner corners (upper and lower lashlines) and the lighter taupe shade at the middle area. Next, I applied the black shade over the lined area (upper and lower lashlines), more on the outer-V.
To highlight the brow bone, I applied P Pink 103 (Shu Uemura Make Up Color Palette The Basic) using a fluffy brush. Use the same brush to blend out harsh lines. For the cheeks, I brushed on P Amber 87 from the same palette.
This is one of my absolute favorites, KATE Deep Eyes GY-1.
I'm not sure if you can still find this in stores, as it is not a new collection.
The beautiful swatches...
I use all the shades except gunmetal gray, for this look.
Another new favorite black eyeliner - Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen.
I got it from ASOS.com, and it's cheap (I got it in a set).
On its own, it retails for £4.00.
The black is pretty intense, and can be used on the waterline (with minimal fading after 3-4 hours).
As the focus of this LOTD is the eyes, I used a light color (Duwop Venom Gloss in Coral Tree) for the lips.
After the Maybelline event, the 4 of us (Jones, Chantana, me & my sis) went shopping. Met a couple of OnSugarettes. Shopping @ Orchard is love! Well, didn't buy much stuff. Canmake's new duo blusher, new panties (lol), a pair of flats.. That's all I think.
Dinner time! We finally decided on Bao Today (Marina Square). Was thinking of having steamboat buffet initially >.<
We ordered not many items to share coz not very hungry? Fried prawn dumplings. Average taste.
Beancurd skin rolls. So-so.
My favorite 流沙包s (salted egg yolk custard buns)!
Love these so much! Taste sooo good :d~
Har gau! These steamed prawn dumplings taste much better than the fried ones IMO.
These siew mai may look blah but actually taste pretty good!
Hmm.. I forgot the name (AGAIN I know).. It's Bamboo Glutinous Rice (Thanks Chantana for remembering :p) Ordered 2 to share.. YUMMIER than expected!! Think I was the only one not very keen on ordering this :x
Very tender chicken meat.. Love the super fragrant bits of the glutinous rice! A must-order apart from the custard buns.. Actually, most of the dim sums there are pretty good. Should try others next time. FYI, I prefer this outlet much much more than the 313 one. Satisfying dinner overall :D
We didn't stop eating after dinner.. coz I suggested Geláre for waffle ice cream! It's been ages since I had 'em. Used to go there every Tues without fail.
Me like the lamp hahas!
Jones & Chantana's. Hmm I don't know what flavors they order.
Me & sis shared Caramel Fudge Brownie/Pralines 'N Cream waffle with hot fudge and fresh cream.
Life is about random whatnots. If you're lucky, you get surprises. If not, just too bad. Life goes on. But most importantly, do remember that happiness lies in your hands. When you're feeling down, think of others who are worse off than you. They're more than willing to be in your shoes, really. Don't think of what you don't have, but rather think of what you have. Contentment is truly a bliss. Don't feel that you're the only one going thru' bad times, many others are too (just that you ain't aware). And the saying goes, "Don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you."
Here's my super random collective hauls. Hmm.. I can't really keep up with my haul posts. That's just not good hahas (x
I received a Dr Jart+ Most Moist package from Confirm Trading for participating in their FB Fanpage mini contest. Clearly, I wasn't the top 3 comments with the most number of likes. But they were very nice enough to let me do the review for the effort I put in, for being no.4 ^^v Yeah I was super happy when I received their email. Many thanks to Joann for contacting me!
The products I received:
Dr Jart+ Most Moist Water Sure Gel
Dr Jart+ Most Moist Waterfuse BB Cream
Dr Jart+ Most Moist Sleeping Mask
Dr Jart+ Most Moist Water-Act Skin Mist
I'll be posting reviews on them soon. Stay tuned (:
This was a giveaway (Tony Moly & Missha) won from Marilyn (MariAsh).
I like Rilakkuma, and this umbrella is so cuteee! Couldn't resist picking this up (; Purpur, my favorite color!
My all-time-favorite, My Melody! The lil' kawaii coin pouch comes free with this Seventeen magazine. A pity that the workmanship isn't that perfect though.
And so, this year no CNY visiting (relatives). Somehow, CNY has lost its festive meaning to me a long time ago. Shan't elaborate on this. Not here to dampen your mood (:
I was super afraid when I 1st saw this golden retriever. Yes, a golden retriever that is. Hair shaven off =.=
He was feeling emo coz no more long golden locks for him.
Dinner at 4 Fingers Bonchon (Ion orchard) with Chantana and Jones before the movie, "The Green Hornet (2011)". We had 4 chicken wings each! I had a mix of soy garlic (left) and spicy (right). They are NOT the BEST chicken wings in S'pore, seriously. The meat was too dry for my liking. Overcooked :/ I just ate only the skin towards the end.
The fries were so-so. Well, I don't think they are consistent with the quality of food so I shall not "condemn" them for now.
Enjoyed the movie. We were LOL-ing throughout. My laughter was the loudest as usual. Aiyooo!~
Chantana shared this on FB. Woo!~
Random dinner with Ah xin during the CNY period. Fried black carrot cake. Love the generous serving of eggs! $2 only!
Thai pineapple fried rice with fried egg. Not bad, but we waited very long! The blur uncle forgot my order despite me going there 3 times to ask about my order!!
Tom Yam Seafood. Normal, nothing fantastic
Breakfast with Ah xin again, coz I couldn't get to sleep. Love Sausage McGriddles With Egg!! Nom nom nom :d~
Random dinner with Ah mei. The mee siam was pretty good, just that it wasn't hot enough.
Nasi padang I think. Quite tasty.
The spicy chicken wasn't spicy and the meat was too dry.
Me is Rat. This year seems to be pretty good for me ♥
